In the political hall of Qianxiang State, the ministers of civil and military affairs and relatives of the emperor are going to the court to make decisions on state affairs, especially the drama of civil officials has come to power, and the titles and etiquette after winning the war are what they are good at, but the queen of the palace has no intention of listening to the mouths of civil officials.

After the Battle of Penghu, Guo Huaiyi adopted the "tortoiseshell tactics", converging part of the Shun army, and defeated the Portuguese army in Manila in the south, and Portugal was more dangerous than the Netherlands at this time, and these sea coachmen gradually withdrew from the world stage of the Age of Sail. But in any case, it is exciting news for Yu Qianxiangguo.

Not long after, Guo Huaiyi, who came back to take charge of the palace forbidden army, brought a post officer into the court to report, and everyone's eyes gathered on the post guard, and the post man knelt down with the little strength he had left: "Report to Your Majesty, my lords, the righteous army of Jia Governor has captured Manlaga, and adopted a policy of receiving and dealing with the aftermath, and most of the Dutch East India Company has withdrawn its investment......"

After saying that, he fainted out of breath, but no one in the palace cared about his pawn, but immediately quarreled and discussed, Queen Qianxiang breathed a sigh of relief, and frowned again: "Take the full Raga chart." ”

Immediately the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Shilang presented the sea charts around the country, after several generations of ancestors surveyed, but also precise, generally accurate, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs calmed down, for a moment, only to hear the queen sigh faintly: "Manraka land, twice as much as our country, if Jia Cong can consolidate this place, the land of Qianxiang country, is it in his eyes?" ”

The ministers of civil and military affairs were full of sadness, people's hearts were wavering, and they were suffering from gains and losses, and their mood expressions were extremely complex and wonderful.

"The Netherlands and Portugal have harbored evil intentions, one in the west and the other in the south, peeking into my inner island, and if they are not removed for a day, this king will be like a fish in the throat. Now that Penghu is occupied by Jia Cong, and he has set up troops in Yilan, it is really a thorn to remove and add a thorn, but in order to avoid the worry of spending national funds, he can only agree to him. Maybe the Shun Dynasty will still be out of reach, regardless of this place, it is still in my pocket. ”

Queen Qianxiang thought so, and there was a real quarrel inside, those who did not want to surrender and wanted to immediately oppose Jia Cong, had any opinions, but after Chen Hua, the original leader of the pro-faction, returned, he no longer held fierce opinions, but said that trade was a great benefit, and he and Guo Huaiyi were in military power, and the tone of belonging to Dashun was set.

Not long after, the queen and the returning Jia Cong, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Hong Jing, held negotiations in Chengtianfu, the negotiations lasted for half a month, and Qian Xiangguo agreed to present the royal jade, changed its name to Taiwan Mansion, and belonged to the political envoy of Fujian Chengxuan, and chose a day to go to Beijing to worship.

In exchange for this, Jia Cong had no choice but to temporarily agree to the war in order to avoid another war, but he fought for another condition, which was to temporarily open up the immigrants from Fujian and Guangdong to be legal, and to pull the immigrants in order to completely assimilate the island. Originally, there were many smuggled immigrants every year, but because of the small number of people in the coastal areas, the Taiwan government agreed.

After agreeing on such policies, Jia Cong said that he would transfer to the Ningbo route of the Japanese state, because it would be closer to Beijing in this way, and Hong Jing and Ding Qisheng had no opinion, and they should quickly raise the tariffs and wait for Jia Cong to transport them back.

They didn't know that Jia Cong coerced this Weihe military exploits, and went to the Japanese country to publicize it, this move seems to be to make a sum of money by the way in the short term, and the sea trade is profitable, how can Jia Cong not take the opportunity to make money? In fact, in the long run, it may not be another great achievement in the future?

……

Under the rule of Wannian in the new government, the manor was hung with the "Qin Jin Zhuang" written by the queen herself, which means that she will be good for Qin and Jin from now on, she often comes to "visit" Qin Keqing, and found that this woman's words and deeds are not like the usual official lady, but like a top lady, this day when Jia Cong left, the queen and her hand in hand to enjoy the flowers: "Mrs. Qin is a person in the palace?" If so, I will ask you more etiquette, and it will be good to go to Beijing in the future. ”

"I look at it highly, my father is an upstart in Jiangnan, and he has a teacher-student friendship with his husband, so I came here without regrets." Qin Keqing was neither humble nor arrogant.

"No wonder, if it weren't for the outstanding people of Jiangnan, they wouldn't have been able to give birth to a beauty like you." The queen complimented.

……

In Yilan in the east, the jungle was dense and wild beasts were raging, and a group of Shun troops drilled, set up camp, built castles, and passed in the plains below the mountains.

There are also some wolf soldiers, skillfully like the jungle is like their home, constantly shuttling and jumping, using the local deep mountain resources to hunt wild beasts and collect medicinal herbs.

Near the port, it is constantly receiving smugglers to reclaim the land.

The same is true of Penghu and Manlaga in the west, and Manila in the south to the country of Qianxiang, where groups of Chinese officers demonstrate in Luzon's Chinatown.

And the soldiers who died in battles in various places and whose corpses could not be found in the sea should be ordered by Jia Cong to erect clothed mounds one after another and worship in response to the festival.

All commerce and trade returned to normal operation, and the handover became British, who learned of the prestige of several battles in the Far East, and the embassy in Taiwan was cautious and did not dare to make any rash moves.

……

The Jia Cong trading team, which was familiar with the route, carried the goods, followed the monsoon and went north, and soon arrived at the offshore sea of Oka, the key point of Edo Bay, Dongying.

During the Edo period, also known as the "Shogunate System," the Shogunate system was consolidated for nearly 200 years after the first shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu, promulgated strict "laws" against the emperor and daimyo domains. At the time of Daishun Hirotoku, during the period of "Kansei" in Edo, the general in power was Tokugawa Iemitsu.

During the Edo period, the country was closed to the rest of the world, but trade with Daishun was not severed, but on the contrary, it was a rather paradoxical welcome, which was the dying struggle of the feudal system in the last decades.

Therefore, Jia Cong dared to swagger to Edo Bay to show off his might, at this moment he sat on the bow of the ship to taste wine, under his command was the elite division that had gone through several life-and-death battles, and as soon as he landed, he began military exercises.

Seeing Jia Cong's sailboat swinging out in three horizontal rows in the coastal waters, with no less than 10,000 cannons, muskets, and rockets added up, and after the guns and muskets rang out, the smoke rolled out, and the momentum was terrifying, and the officers and men of the guards in Edo Bay were stunned! Stunned!

Then he returned to the nearest supreme governor here, "Lao Zhong" Asano Torch, Lao Zhong is the highest official who assists the general, no less than the lord of the daimyo clan in various places, and hurriedly came out of the fireworks building to dress the official Asano Torch, landed on the shore to see this posture, and jumped to his feet in fright: "Yaga Ya Road!" I am the Great Rizhao God Kingdom, and the national army is only 80,000, and it will take a long time to gather, is this going to war with our Edo Kyoto? ”

However, as a representative of the important and samurai class, Asano Torch is arrogant and not afraid of death.

With a wave of the wide sleeves of the native Shinto Sect, the Asano torch led the guard officer, the samurai who served him to death, and looked up at Jia Cong fearlessly with his short body: "What do you want to do in your country's exercise along our coast?" ”

"Have devils always been so arrogant?" Jia Cong looked down at these people, secretly despised them, and said lightly: "This official is officially sent to trade, isn't your Excellency welcome?" Don't you want me to come in and sit down? ”

Because Asano often interacted with the Chinese, and the middle and upper classes of the Japanese country were intensive in studying Chinese Confucian culture, so Asano was very fluent in Chinese Mandarin, and they discussed in a low voice, and the Japanese knife in their hands couldn't help but loosen: "Welcome!" Welcome! Please enter the Sidai Mansion! ”

So in a burst of ghost bird language that Jia Cong couldn't understand, Jia Cong led people to get into the car and drove to the Edo Kyoto Division's Mansion. On the way, Zhou Wenbai next to him translated: "My lord, this is a welcome song: I hope you will cross the sea like flat land, live on a boat like a boat, and return safely in the near future!" ”

"I see." Jia Cong nodded and groaned, while looking at the scenery along the Dongying official road, the city was listed, Mifu was running, a prosperous scene, probably because of this self-sufficiency, it gave the devil the confidence to close the country, he said to Qin Zhong: "You open an embassy here, I will invite the imperial court, it will be of great use in the future." ”

"Okay, it's better for my brother-in-law to treat me." Qin Zhong couldn't take his eyes off when he entered the city. The same is true for Wei Ruolan and Zhou Wenbai.

Asano Torch did not dare to be careless, on the one hand, he played the Tokugawa Iemitsu General in Kyoto, and on the other hand, he entertained Jia Cong and his party with good wine, good food, and women, and sent people to hand over the goods and sell the goods with Jia Cong's caravan.

The next day, in the living room of the Kyoto Division, Jia Cong got up early, and the women of the Japanese country served him carefully, but he didn't look down on it, and only slept with Daphne for one night, the Asano torch came in to greet him, and the Japanese woman served tea, but accidentally tilted some tea, and the Asano torch looked cloudy, pulled out the Japanese knife, and stabbed the woman on the spot, and then killed a chicken, as if nothing happened: "Snub Lord Jia, who told her to be so careless!" ”

Jia Cong's face was unwavering, but his heart was not very comfortable, and Daphne stared at Asano with hatred.

What the two didn't know was that in the Wa Kingdom during the Edo Shogunate period, samurai killed farmers, merchants, and low-level women casually, which was the most common thing in the streets and alleys, not to mention the Kyoto Sidai Mansion, which was second only to the Shogun's Mansion?

At that time, compared with Dashun, the hierarchical cruelty system of the Wa Kingdom was even more perverted, and it was really a pervert among perverts.

"Hehe, Asano-sama is really...... Well, Brave is very ...... Hehe......" Jia Cong didn't know whether to laugh and ridicule or what, in short, he was speechless, and said straight to the point: "A few years ago, there was a smashing, burning, and looting movement in Ningbo Mansion in my country, which was extremely bad, do you know?" ”

"Huh?" Asano Torch was stunned for a moment, and the black beard in the person squirmed when he drank tea: "This is really a misunderstanding!" The Japanese are not from our country, and there are already laws and regulations for those who go out, and they will not recognize the hukou when they return! ”

"Then I proposed yesterday to open an embassy in Edo......"

"I can accept this, and the general will agree." Asano Torch was a little hesitant: "Jia Congjun, but don't worry, well, I don't know if my country's girl served me well last night?" Comfortable drops are uncomfortable? How is it compared to the women of your country? ”

"It's okay, it's okay." Jia Cong was embarrassed, didn't look directly at Daphne, and said in her heart: "I don't like anyone like you, and I can't look down on a short person like you." ”

"Big drop good! Big drop good! Asano Torch gave a thumbs up, the Wa State Bushido advocated "heavy literature and advocating martial arts", at this time it was a great honor for the samurai to commit suicide by caesarean section, in addition to Zhu Zixue, Wang Yangming Xinxue is very popular here, the late Ming Dynasty painting evolved into "ukiyo-e" in the Wa Kingdom, which was all the rage, so after a long talk, Asano Torch felt that Jia Cong had an appetite for him, but Jia Cong stayed for two days, and saw that the Wa State really opened the embassy and consulate, so he was relieved to carry the goods back to Ningbo.

He expected, but did not participate, and then the daimyo lords within the Wa Kingdom, because of Jia Cong's knock on the pass, had a fierce quarrel, giving them a sense of crisis, quite like the "Perry knock" implemented by the United States in the nineteenth century, so that the Wa Kingdom quickly entered the Meiji Restoration, which was to learn the lessons of the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, and there may not be that good opportunity at this moment.

And Jia Cong on the return journey, the storm will inevitably accompany him into Dashun, as well as the four major families.

……

Ningbo coast.

Jia Cong asked Daphne, "Do you remember the stories written by literary giants like Shakespeare?" Can you translate it? ”

Devine, who was looking forward to seeing the scenery of Dashun, was surprised and said, "You actually know Shakespeare?" Yes, Queen Elizabeth liked him very much, and as soon as his play came on, London was full of laughter, and I remember some of the episodes, but to translate them, I can't do it alone, and I have to cooperate with the missionaries, after all, I have limited knowledge alone. ”

After so long, Jia Cong gradually understood Daphne's origin.

It turned out that her father was a duke of England, belonged to the House of Lords, and was a Whig faction of the famous British Tories and Whigs, and was gaining power at this time.

Since the beginning of the Renaissance and industrialization, the British aristocracy has been proud of their experience at sea, knowing the customs of various countries, and talking about literary and artistic goods from all over the world, so it is not surprising that Devine, who was born in the aristocracy, knows a little Chinese.

In addition, after Marco Polo set off the Oriental fever, in response to the needs of the missionaries to translate into cultural invasion, all parts of Europe sought to translate religious classics into Chinese, not only to follow the local customs, but also to know that the Oriental scholars attached importance to books, but also to prepare for the invasion and show off.

"Cao Xueqin is not as lucky as Shakespeare." Jia Cong muttered and thought: "It's okay, during my filial piety, I can spread some advanced foreign things, gain a reputation, and alert a group of people to expand my influence." In addition, Xue Baoqin's family also did business in various countries, and the Xue family had the experience of imperial merchants, so that some people could also invade the culture of the Japanese Kingdom. ”

……

On the shore of Taihu Lake in Suzhou, a dusty cultivator, as well as its northwest alleys and small jasper outside Gusu City, are all waiting for the return of their long-separated lover. ()
